We hve driven by the Friday markets on previous trips to the East Coast, and I love seeing the colourful wares for sale. Plants, fruits and bouquets of inflated pool toys. Our tour was the first time that I'd had a chance to stop and wander the booths.
First we stopped in Masafi at a cluster of markets that had everthing from housewares to the ubiquitous pool toys. These weren't the same ones that we had previously seen, but I figured those were probably well out of the way. But then our driver apparently spoke to some shopkeepers who informed him that this was the junior varsity Friday Markets and he wanted to take us to the Major Leagues.
Some excellent sights at the Masafi markets, including a well-decorated car ready for National Day.

And then the Varsity Friday Markets, where fruit and vegetable stalls stood one after another, like mirror images reflected upon themselves into infinity, including the green-shirted clerks.
